Can't imagine the kid wanting to be anything other than a Jayhawk after today. What a game/comeback/crowd.
To any kid dumb enough to choose Kansas for ANYTHING over NY should get what they deserve.
Cmon now, St Johns has stuff that Kansas can't provide but that statement is such nonsense. Kansas basketball is THE sport in that area/state and they play in one of the best environments in the country. Bill Self has also turned out NBA talent of his own and they're a high seed in the tournament every year. Even though we play at MSG our arena is usually either empty or filled with fans of opposing teams.
Again, there is a number of things SJU can provide that Kansas doesn't but to make it sound like SJU over Kansas is an obvious choice for anyone is ridiculous.
I totally agree. News flash: College kids don't come here for Broadway plays or shopping on 5th Avenue. If you are a college basketball fan, you owe it to yourself to check out a game at Allen Fieldhouse. It is night and day different than our place. For their game yesterday against Mizzou, students camped out for one week for tickets. Do you see that here? It is an experience beyond belief.
I attended a game there 5 or 6 years ago. It was a midweek game against a crappy Iowa State team. The place was packed, the crowd was incredibly loud (even in a blowout), and to hear the Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk, literally sends a chill up your spine.
That my friend, is a college basketball environment.
